Well, yes, please. We should have done that years ago. It’s extremely bothersome if you need to help fix a other developer/maintainer’s package and they don’t use DVCS (well, I mean git) and a layout that gbp can work with smoothly. I usually end up importing packages into gbp and working from the local mirror. But it is bothersome. Thanks for doing that, -- Ondřej Surý ond...@sury.org
